I don't recall ever writing about MailboxProcessor + C#.

Yes. I have read plenty excelent articles on using it from F#. Including those on Brian's blog.

Thats probably why I like it that much. :D

But I'm sure I read somewhere else than on msdn, that it's called FSharpMailboxProcessor when using it from C#, but when I try to Bing/Google that word nothing really comes up.

I'm not allowed to use F# at work yet, so was hoping to figure out how to use from C# in the meantime. :D

MailboxProcessor uses both F# function types and Asyncs a great deal throughout its API, so it would be very hard to use directly from C#.

You could probably wrap some kind of decent C# facade around it that uses Func and Task, but maybe you'd still suffer from the fact that clients may need some async too, and C# sucks at that. I dunno, I haven't really tried this for real work.

Oh, C#, I missed that! [:$]
